S3 Series

Gentlemen! We have them!
The last of the fleet carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy are within our grasp. The next few hours will determine if the Allied Powers gain complete mastery of the air over the Pacific Ocean. With that in hand, the defeat of Japan is a certainty.
My staff and I will be embarked on USS New Jersey. We are leading the fleet and should be in position to bombard the Jap carriers shortly after you hammer them from the air.
A caution, these damned "Divine Wind" attacks are costing us dearly in men and ships. I've advised your Air Group Commanders to be ready to defend against attack from any direction. Alright, you take off at dawn. Go sink the bastards as they watch the rising sun mark their watery graves!

Suggested,

We do relays as to attack enemy and CAP our carriers for Kamikaze.

The first mission will determine general timing. Probable we are looking at a 30 minute turn.
Therefore, suggest 6-8 CAP and all the rest go attack. Reason for a small number is cycle time is short for CAP and can do more if get close and kill His.

Then next designated 6-8 upon return or after plane loss. Communication from CAP needs be good and repetitive, at any moment one should be able to say "Who on CAP" and you should get 6-8 "YO"s.

The CAP should never wain as the AIs will constantly attack. Issue from last of frame 2, unknown if AI speed is 400+ Mph........ this is unrealistic.

Sounds fair. Any feedback from the DRs?
